[00:07.23]Artist: Collin Raye [00:07.53]Album: Direct Hits [00:07.83]Title: Love, Me [00:08.13]Skip ewing, max t. barnes [00:08.43]I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three. [00:17.55]Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said, [00:26.83]\boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, [00:35.45]Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so.\
[00:43.92]We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. [00:52.86]Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. [01:02.02]But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead [01:11.44]Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said: [01:20.18]If you get there before i do, don't give up on me. [01:28.99]I'll meet you when my chores are through; [01:33.47]I don't know how long i'll be. [01:37.63]But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. [01:46.54]And between now and then, till i see you again, [01:51.07]I'll be loving you. love, me. [02:04.97]I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away, [02:13.91]In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray. [02:23.09]I know i'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; [02:31.76]But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. [02:40.52]If you get there before i do, don't give up on me. [02:50.63]I'll meet you when my chores are through; [02:55.46]I don't know how long i'll be. [02:59.56]But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. [03:08.81]And between now and then, till i see you again, [03:15.96]I'll be loving you. love, me. [03:23.07]Between now and then, till i see you again, [03:26.78]I'll be loving you. love, me. [03:40.00]
